Nasty Eye Poke Ends Leon Edwards vs. Belal Muhammad UFC Main Event

A horrific accidental eye poke ended Saturday night's UFC Vegas 21 main event between Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad.  This one concluded with a foul, and therefore NO CONTEST.

Muhammad was a +200 underdog and Edwards was listed as the favorite at -260.

Tim Burke’s play-by-play of Leon Edwards’ big mistake on Belal Muhammad:

Right away, Edwards lands a huge eye poke and Muhammad is crying in pain. Oh my god. He’s totally messed up. He’s unable to control himself. He admits that he can’t say anything, but he’s inconsolable. Understandably, this is his first main event and he’s super messed up. It was a nasty eye poke. Ugh. I feel so bad for Belal.
